Ron Paul’s Bill To Audit The Federal Reserve Now Has 156 Co-Sponsors

This is history in the making, and victory is within reach. Imagine what will happen if HR 1207, The Federal Reserve Transparency Act, comes up for vote in Congress! With one third of the House of Representatives already co-sponsoring this bill, it has real potential to pass — BUT only if we educate and rally the people to support it and get our Congresspeople to put it to vote and pass it.

Step 1: Your Representative

If your representative is not on the following list of HR 1207 co-sponsors, call their offices, write to them, email them, etc. Let them know they need to support HR 1207. If you live in their district, let them know. Go to their office.

Step 2: Financial Services Committee

HR 1207 is now in the House Committee on Financial Services. This is THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP in this legislation! If it doesn’t get out of committee it will not come to a vote! There are 71 members on this committee and they are all listed below.

We need to let all members of the House Committee on Financial Services know that we want them to allow full House consideration of HR 1207 so it can move forward; we need them to support this. Now is the time.

Call their offices, write to them, email them, etc. Let them know they need to support HR 1207. If you live in their district, let them know. Go to their office.

Please co-sponsor and/or support H.R.1207, an effort to audit the Federal Reserve.

Recently, it has come to light that there is little to no accountability to the people on the part of the Federal Reserve. While the citizens of this country are required by law to give an accounting of every penny they come in contact with, the Federal Reserve has never been held to the same standard. During this time of extreme economic crisis, the people deserve an accounting of where our money is going.

Currently there are 156 co-sponsors for this legislation, and it is enjoying bi-partisan support. Your efforts in supporting this important legislation would go a long way in proving to your constituents that you not only hold the Federal Reserve to the same standard as you do your constituents, but it would also show that you believe in transparency. Anything less than support for this resolution suggests that you are in favor of secrecy and a lack of accountability to the people who pay the bills. We pay the tab; we have a right to know where our money is going.

Unlike recent bills that you voted in favor of that had hundreds of pages and just a few hours to read, this bill can be read in under 5 minutes. I encourage you to take the time to read it, and then move to support it.

Thank you in advance for your attention on this important legislation. I have every expectation that you will do right by your constituents and support this measure.

Sincerely,

Step 3: The People

Tell everyone you know about HR 1207 and ask them to support it and to contact their representative as well. Link to this page and to CampaignForLiberty.com.

This initiative is crucial and we need to redouble our efforts to get HR 1207 passed.

Delahunt’s (MA-10)office said again that I would get a reply as to whether he will co-sponsor HR 1207 or not. I wonder if it will ever happen or not. If you are from MA (or not) give him a call for me.

Ladies and Gentlemen, and children of all ages, the problems with America started a long time ago…… The solutions to these problems start with this simple question: HOW MUCH DO YOU LOVE YOUR COUNTRY? WHAT does America mean to you? How much do you love GOD, and your fellow man? It has always been a struggle between good and evil!! In this case, EVIL has come in the form of certain Government Officials, and PRIVATE BANKS, International and Domestic that have discovered an easy “MARK”, and a “QUICK DISHONEST BUCK”. I PRAY EVERY DAY for Great People Like Ron Paul, Senator David Vitter amongest many others who are trying their very best to do what they promised GOD and the American People they would do when they took an OATH to uphold the laws of our GREAT NATION. I PRAY EVEN MORE for the evil-doers, they know who they are, and one day their time on this earth will have passed, and Judgement Will Come. It just literally amazes me (DAILY I MIGHT ADD) how human beings can become so self-centered, self absorbed, self-consumed, and ALL FOR WHAT? MONEY? GREED? POWER? DOMINANCE? CONTROL? An EGO? A wonderful friend of mine, who has had a very hard and difficult life told me just the other day, these most important words: he said to me “Frank, it all comes down to what is in the heart and soul of a person. Everyone has the propensity to do good works, or evil works. As long as evil is in control, and occupies a man’s heart, you know what the expected result will be…. HOWEVER, if goodness occupies a man’s heart, who knows what wonders in this world could be accomplished?”. Those words remind me of this passage: For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Mark 8:36 KJV
The people responsible who had a hand in this financial theft of wealth from the American people will be brought to justice; either in this life, or in the next. Amen

RON PAUL, Sir, you are making progress!! HOWEVER, the battle is far, far, from over. Poor ole’ A.I.G. still has some toxic assets after getting $180 Billion Bailout. They are selling off foreign assets…… Turbo Tim is on the scene, Bernanke is nowhere to be found….. Maybe someone should call Henry Paulson.
As of today, at my latest posting you have 156 Co-Sponsors; this is tantamount to saying 156 Honest Concerned Elected Officials that want to get to the bottom of this financial deception…..
The rest are either in denial, cannot make their mind up, or they are AFRIAD of Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, or Barney Franks; maybe others, I presume…. I WILL STATE THIS AGAIN: If you have done nothing wrong, why not submit the FEDERAL RESERVE to an audit, so the AMERICAN PEOPLE CAN SEE THROUGH THE HONEST POLITICIANS, when, where, and how all this money vanished into thin air…… Everything done in the dark, eventually comes to the light….. Everyone in America is NOT stupid or easily deceived.

Couldn’t you then ‘manage’ a commodities-based system by simply controlling the means for commodity production?

For example, if we were to move to a gold standard, I have heard China could simply liquidate a good portion of their treasury holdings, accelerate gold mining production in locations across the world, devalue gold, trade it in for US Dollars, completely remove them from circulation, and cause inflation and trash our economy, right? What would prevent that?

China has already begun a similar path of investment with oil, what good would a commodities-based economy do in this case:

“Brazil has agreed to supply up to 100,000 barrels of oil per day to China, the head of Brazil’s State-owned oil and gas giant Petrobras said on Thursday.

The Brazilian company also signed an agreement for a $10 billion loan from the China Development Bank, which will be used to finance the exploration for oil in Brazil.”

Nate, please explain what commodity you would like to use. You throw that word around like its a hooker, but it has no value unless you understand what it truely means.. and to re-educate you.. Money has to end up somewhere, most of it ends up in China because they produce EVERYTHING. If we changed to commodity money, than China would end up owning all of our commodities, because they would end up with all the money. Thats so simple to understand. Anybody with a brain can get it except people with one tracked minds. Your like a dog during dinner.

and again, the dollar is the safest investment anyone can make. Thats why everybody in the world has been buying up treasury notes with 1% interest during this recession. And why do you think china as a whole owns securites? Hundreds of millions of people own our securities. It would take alot to change the minds of hundreds of millions of people… But if for some reason, hundreds of millions of people liquidated their securities all at once, than it would be to our advantage, not theirs. We would set up trade barriers and become self efficient.

First, a quick summary on an internet forum is typically an awful way to illustrate the arguments contained in a book.

Second, Choice in Currency is a pretty short book (something like 60 pages or something) you can read it in an hour or so on mises.org.

Third, you have simply touched on the main ideological divide between us. Yes, for me, the answers lie in liberty, sound money, and the free market. For you, the answers are to be found in control, government issued debt notes, and a centrally planned economy.

Fourth, I have already explained what sound money is and how we can make our way back to it. Yes, the explanations have been brief but, again, an internet message board isn’t the proper environment for such a hefty endeavor. Best to read the books.

That wouldn’t work at all!! If the government allowed people to exchange securities for gold, than 1/3rd of our gold would disapear to foreign nations. I seriously doubt that would ever happen.. Maybe if we would have done that when this book was written.

And that comes from the Cartoon News Network…… Folks, I think we are all in trouble. Did you hear the one about GE, OBAMA AND TOM DASCHLE? Here’s a good place to start auditing!!!

For all of the carping liberals did for eight years about corporate cronyism in George W. Bush’s White House, they seem to turn a blind eye to the same behavior in President Obama’s. With plans in place for a major overhaul in the health-care industry, General Electric is positioning itself to become a major beneficiary of these health care reforms.

Recently at the Business and Social Responsibility Conference, General Electric Chief Executive Officer Jeff Immelt referred to America’s current economic crisis as part of a “reset” rather than part of an economic cycle, saying, “People who understand that will prosper in the future, and people who don’t understand that will get left behind.”

In the same address, Mr. Immelt, who is also a member of Mr. Obama’s economic recovery advisory board, added, “The intersection of government and business will be changed, maybe for a generation.” In other words, companies should be prepared to beg for a seat at the government’s table if they plan on remaining lucrative.

Imagine that on the eve of the Iraq war, the CEO of Halliburton had declared that since Sept. 11, 2001, the relationship between the government and corporate interests have become one in the same.

Of course, Mr. Immelt’s rhetoric about corporate responsibility was undercut last year when GE’s once vaunted financial services business, GE Capital, was forced to ask the government for what amounted to a $140 billion government bailout.

Mr. Immelt’s words betray GE’s willingness to partner with the Obama government in order to turn a profit. To this end, GE has appointed Mr. Obama’s former nominee for secretary of health and human services, Tom Daschle, to the board of advisers for Healthymagination, an initiative launched by General Electric in partnership along with Intel, which will invest $6 billion over the next six years on “health care innovation that will help deliver better care to more people at lower cost.”

Mr. Daschle said, “We can only find real solutions in health care when business, government and their partners work together.”

In 2008, Mr. Daschle wrote the book “Critical: What We Can Do About the Health-Care Crisis” in which he explains his radical solutions to the problems in American health care. In the book, Mr. Daschle calls for a British-style Federal Council on health care.

The profitability of GE’s new venture will depend heavily on the nationalization of the health care industry. The standardization and streamlining of health care recordkeeping, something on which Mr. Obama ran in 2008, would require a massive government contract for the technology to achieve such standardization.

Mr. Obama has introduced a plan to computerize all health records within five years. Independent studies from Harvard, Rand Corp. and the Commonwealth Fund have estimated that such a plan could cost at least $75 billion to $100 billion over the next 10 years. Healthymagination is readying just such a technology, claiming that they will seek to “increase the use and capability of electronic medical record (EMR) technology and other information technology.” With Mr. Obama’s ally Mr. Daschle on board, Healthymagination is sure to have more than a leg up on its competition when it comes time to dole out these massive contracts.

Under the cloak of corporate responsibility, General Electric seeks to benefit to the tune of billions from the passage of Mr. Obama’s health care reform. On its corporate Web site, Healthymagination admits it will use every tool at its disposal to achieve its goals, including NBC Universal, the parent company of MSNBC which offers nearly uncritical coverage of Mr. Obama and his policies.

In effect, NBC Universal would become the propaganda arm of the administrations drive for the nationalization of health care, pushing its passage in its print and television properties.

Healthymagination states its target dates for the completion of its various initiatives as 2015, well into a second Obama term. This means GE will have a deep financial interest in Mr. Obama’s re-election; a fact that will no doubt be reflected in its media divisions. It will certainly be interesting to see if the left-wing watchdogs howl, or if they will conclude this is an acceptable level of collusion between the White House and a multinational conglomerate.

To be realistic about it, the missing two trillion dollars that everyones worried about is what they are refering to in this news article, and what ben bernanke has been saying in his hearings.

RON PAUL WE NEED ANOTHER BILL!! LOOK AT THIS ARTICLE: http://uk.reuters.com/article/companyNewsMolt/idUKTRE5476T220090508 “The Obama administration is expected to propose legislation by June calling for the U.S. Federal Reserve to play a central role in regulating systemic risk in the economy, trade association sources said on Friday. Now that the U.S. bank stress tests are over, the administration is refocusing on a drive to tighten regulation of banks and markets to prevent another financial crisis like the one that is currently ravaging economies worldwide. Systemic risk refers to problems in the financial system large enough to damage the overall economy. For instance, the government last year bailed out insurer American International Group because its failure was seen as a systemic risk. Beyond that, there is little agreement among officials about the much-debated idea of setting up a government regulator to monitor and manage systemic risk. The administration left the door open to further discussion in remarks by a Treasury Department spokesman. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner is open to the possibility of a council to coordinate among bank regulators, including the agency overseeing the stability of the system as a whole, the spokesman told Reuters on Friday. “Secretary Geithner believes that we need a single independent regulator with responsibility for systemically important firms and critical payment and settlement systems,” spokesman Andrew Williams said. “He does see a role, however, for a council to coordinate among the various regulators, including the systemic risk regulator,” Williams added. TREASURY SAYS TO MOVE QUICKLY The systemic risk regulator proposal would have to dovetail with other administration initiatives, including empowering the government to seize and resolve the problems of large, non-bank financial firms, using the established bank resolution authority of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp as a model. The administration is committed to enacting proposals into law this year, the trade association sources said. The sources also said their information came from a briefing administration officials held with industry executives on Friday. National Economic Council Director Lawrence Summers, a senior adviser to President Barack Obama, will lead the effort on regulatory restructuring, the sources said. Geithner told Reuters Television on Friday the administration wants to move swiftly. “We’re going to be laying out to the Congress the broad comprehensive framework within the next couple weeks, and we hope to move forward quickly with legislation,” he said. Briefing participants said a specific timetable was not presented, but that the House of Representatives Financial Services Committee is expected to approve a bill by July 4. Representative Barney Frank, the Massachusetts Democrat who chairs the committee, has said he wants to enact a bill to overhaul financial regulation this year, as well.” Once again the Obama Administration is rushing to give the FEDERAL RESERVE even more power(translation: STEAL EVEN MORE MONEY), as they delegate authority to said institution.

What Congress can do to the Fed in the interum ,is put a high tax on all the fractional reserve counterfeit money they make above the value of the GDP.In other words tax the Fed into submission.Congress can then pay for the Fed’s interest bill and withdraw counterfeit inflationary money from the system.90% tax would be fair,since this money is made from nothing.

Most of the money they now generate is cyber money.The IMF has just created $1.4 trillion in cyber money but only have one fourteeth of this in gold reserves.The amount of money in the US economy has doubled since Oct 08,and this needs to be addressed.

Pass another bill on destructive,inflationary cyber money and they will have to use their own assets or borrow from the Chinese to fund the bailouts.Fight fire with fire.

How about this, since the money from the federal reserve goes to the government and other programs. We should get the masses from the government to take responsablity for paying back the federal reserve and demand a receipt to show how much in debt the government really is. since its the governments responsablity to pay it back. for example: (we take out a loan for a car, we pay back the banks every month until paided off, which in turn the government should pay monthly payments for the federal reserve until pay off since thats what are tax dollars are suppose to do). if not i think the government and all its programs should be audited for the inresponsiblity. meaning the homeland sercurity, defense, pentagon,fbi,cia…etc. should be shut down and under heavy investigation.

Their power can,with the aid of Congress and the constitution be ended with the stroke of a pen.Leeches can be cast asunder with salt.Fed parisites can be cast asunder with courage and resolve.

Well done Ron!

A SINCERE AND EARNEST MESSAGE TO ALL OF OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS: If you are an elected official, sworn to uphold the laws of our Great Country, the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, the Greatest Country in the Entire World, a country that was bought and paid for in full by the Blood, Sweat and Tears of Great Americans who died to advance the ideas and concept of FREEDOM, I urge you to support and co-sponsor DR. RON PAUL’S BILL TO AUDIT THE FEDERAL RESERVE!! As an elected official, you not only swore to uphold our laws, but please be made aware that you will be held accountable by GOD ALMIGHTY who will judge every man according to his deeds. If the FEDERAL RESERVE has done nothing wrong, then the FEDERAL RESERVE has nothing to worry about. We both know the truth of what is going on. Deeds done in the dark, will come to light my friend!! Think of others more highly than yourself, do what is honest, right, and just. AUDIT THE FEDERAL RESERVE, so that the forefathers that established this GREAT COUNTRY, THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, did not die and pledge their lives in vain.
